Oil flows from the pressurized oil tank to the lube pump in the Lubrication and Scavenge Oil Pump (LSOP).
The pressurized oil is directed to the main oil filter and to the Oil Control Module (OCM). The main part of the filtered oil flows to the Fuel/Oil Heat Exchanger
Bypass Valve (FOHEBV) which modulates the oil flow between the AOHE and the FOHE. The oil flow that is directed to the AOHE also flows through the
IDGOOHE. This forms part of the heat management system.
The FOHEBV is electrically controlled and monitored by the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) according to fuel temperature.
Diagram #2
Oil from the heat exchangers is sent via the OCM to the No. 3, 4, 5, 6 bearings and to the AGB and MGB.
Oil is also sent to the Variable Oil Reduction Valve (VORV) / Journal Oil Shuttle Valve (JOSV) which modulates the flow of oil to the No. 1, 1.5, 2 and Fan
Drive Gear System (FDGS) based on engine power settings.
The VORV is electrically controlled and monitored by the EEC to bypass part of the oil flow to the front bearings at low power setting.
The JOSV is a mechanical device that keeps a continuous supply of oil to the fan drive journal bearings from the main oil supply in normal condition or from
the auxiliary oil supply in windmill or zero or negative gravity conditions.
Nozzles in the main bearing compartments and gearboxes supply the oil to the different bearings, gears, seals, and accessory drive splines. Last chance
strainers are provided at the entrance to the compartments to protect the oil nozzles from debris introduced to the oil system downstream of the main oil
filter.
Diagram #3
The other part of the filtered oil is sent through the Active Oil Damper Valve (AODV) to the No. 3 bearing damper for N2 vibration control. The AODV is
electrically controlled by the EEC to supply oil to the damper during starting and acceleration and shut it off at high power.

The engine oil scavenge system is used to return the hot lubrication oil to the tank through the LSOP.
The LSOP has six scavenge pumps that are used to pull scavenge oil from the:
Six magnetic chip collectors, installed upstream of the scavenge pumps, catch ferrous metal particles.
The scavenge pumps send the scavenge oil to the oil tank through the Oil Debris Monitor (ODM) and the deaerator.
The ODM senses the size and quantity of ferrous and non-ferrous particles in the scavenge oil system and the corresponding signal is processed by the
Prognostic Health Monitoring Unit (PHMU).
The engine oil breather system is used to remove sealing air from the bearing compartments, separate the air from the oil, and vent it overboard. In the
tank, the deaerator is a static component that separates the air that is mixed with the scavenged oil. Part of the air is used to pressurize the tank and the
excess is sent to the centrifugal deoiler.
The deoiler is mechanically connected and driven by the MGB and receives the air/oil mist internally from the MGB, from the tank by the breather line and
from the No. 3 bearing compartment by a dedicated breather vent tube.

The oil level sensor is installed on the top of the oil tank.
It is of the magnetic float and reed switch type. The signal proportional to the oil level is sent to the EEC channel B.
The Oil Debris Monitoring (ODM) sensor is installed between the main oil scavenge line and the deaerator in the oil tank.
It detects any type of pollution that crossed its electromagnetic field. The signal corresponding to the ferrous and non-ferrous debris is processed by the
PHMU. The PHMU calculates the number of particles in a given time period and sends it to the EEC channel A.
The EEC compares the data to predefined values and generates a maintenance signal.
The dual oil temperature sensor is installed on the Oil Control Module (OCM).
It measures the scavenge oil temperature in the scavenge oil line and sends the signals to both EEC channels.
The dual main oil pressure sensor is installed on Oil Control Module (OCM).
It measures the pressure on the oil supply line and sends the signals to both EEC channels.
The low oil pressure switch is installed on Oil Control Module (OCM).
It detects low oil pressure condition on the oil supply line and sends the signals to the Engine Interface Unit (EIU).
The oil filter differential pressure sensor is installed on the Oil Control Module (OCM), adjacent to the oil filter.
The differential pressure signal is sent to both EEC channels. There are two levels of alert pressure.
When the differential pressure across the filter is more than the specified limit, a maintenance signal is generated.
When the differential pressure across the primary oil filter element is too much, the filter bypass valve will open. The pressurized oil then will go directly to
the secondary filter and an oil filter bypass signal is also generated.
The dual auxiliary oil pressure sensor is installed on the VORV/ JOSV assembly.
It measures the pressure of the auxiliary oil supply for the journal bearings of the FDGS and sends it to both EEC channels to detect failures in the JOSV
or the oil auxiliary pump.
Within the AMM, there are references to the Oil Control Module (OCM) and an Oil Control Manifold. The manifold is used to mount the VORV/ JOSV
assembly to the engine.

The pressurized oil is directed to the main oil filter and to the Oil Control Module (OCM).
The main part of the filtered oil flows to the Fuel/Oil Heat Exchanger Bypass Valve (FOHEBV) which modulates the oil flow between the AOHE and the
FOHE. The oil flow that is directed to the AOHE also flows through the IDGOOHE. This forms part of the Heat Management System (HMS).
The FOHEBV is a modulating valve and is capable of assigning the flow in 10-90% proportion. In case of failure, it will fail safe bias to give 90% of the flow to
the Air/Oil Heat Exchanger (AOHE) and the IDG Oil/Oil Heat Exchanger (IDGOOHE).
The FOHEBV is electrically controlled and monitored by the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) according to fuel temperature.

GENERAL
The Variable Oil Reduction Valve (VORV) / Journal Oil Shuttle Valve (JOSV) assembly modulates the flow of oil to the No. 1, 1.5, 2 and Fan Drive Gear System
(FDGS) based on engine power settings.
The Variable Oil Reduction Valve (VORV) / Journal Oil Shuttle Valve (JOSV) assembly is located at the 9 o'clock position on the Fan Intermediate Case (FIC).
It is mounted on the Oil Control Manifold.
The Variable Oil Reduction Valve (VORV) modulates the flow of oil to the No. 1, 1.5, 2 bearing and allows some oil to return to the oil tank except during
MCT and TOGA when there is full flow to the bearings.
The Journal Oil Shuttle Valve (JOSV) adjusts oil flow to the Fan Drive Gear System (FDGS). With no main system pressure (no oil supply), windmilling or
during negative/zero gravity conditions, it creates an integral oil loop system utilising an separate internal oil pump.
The Active Oil Damper Valve (AODV) supplies oil to the No. 3 bearing damper for N2 vibration control. The AODV is electrically controlled by the EEC to
supply oil to the damper during starting and acceleration and shut it off at high power. Maximum flow is given during engine start or high vibration.

The oil filter element is located on the lubrication and scavenge oil pump (LSOP) at approximately the 8 o'clock position.
The main oil filter element removes solid contaminants from the pressurized oil sent from the LSOP. The filtered oil then goes from the main oil filter
to the Oil Control Module (OCM). The main oil filter element is in the main oil filter housing attached to the LSOP.
In normal operation, the oil flows from the lubrication and scavenge oil pump and into the outer part of the filter to the inner part through the primary
and secondary filter elements. The element is also a dual element design. The dual element oil filter is a filter in a filter design, with a primary filter
bypass valve installed in the filter assembly. Because the filter function is redundant (primary and secondary filters) the filter function cannot fail. The
dual element design has a coarse filtration secondary element in the finer filtration primary element that will continue to supply a level of protection to
the engine.
The differential pressure sensor is installed on the lubrication and scavenge oil pump, adjacent to the oil filter housing. Two pressure connections, one
upstream and one downstream of the main oil filter element, supply the pressures used to monitor differential oil pressure. The main oil differential
pressure sensor is connected to the two pressure connections. When the differential pressure across the filter is more than a specified limit, a
maintenance flag is set.
When the differential pressure across the primary oil filter element is more than a specified limit, pressurized oil is sent directly to the secondary filter.
An oil filter bypass signal is also sent to the flight crew through the EEC.
CREW INDICATIONS
The oil filter differential pressure sensor gives an indication if the primary oil filter has clogged. The following messages can be seen.
• ENG 1 OIL FILTER DEGRAD - the oil filter differential pressure sensor is large enough to indicate the oil filter is approaching bypass. In this
condition, the oil filter bypass valve is still sending pressurized oil through the primary filter element. This is accompanied by an amber CLOG
message under the oil pressure indication.
• ENG 1 OIL FILTER CLOG - indicated the oil filter is in bypass. In this condition, the oil filter will bypass pressurized oil around the primary
filter element into the secondary filter element. This is accompanied by an amber CLOG message under the oil pressure indication.
Note: These messages are inhibited by the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) if the oil temperature is below 160 deg.F (71.11 deg.C)
WARNING: WAIT FIVE MINUTES MINIMUM TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OIL SYSTEM IS NOT PRESSURIZED BEFORE YOU DO THIS
